I like the Gold Line. It's kind of like Star plastic, but waaaaay more durable. I've had my Vision over a year and it may be scuffed up, but that's it. Plus it doesn't seem to degrade stability wise like Star and ESP. Mind you it does, but it reminds me more of the break in of Champ plastic. Carefull of your color choices though. Gold, bronze, silver and the like. Really blend into their surroundings, but their Opto is even worse! They've added more pigment to the Opto, but they're still pretty clear. No prob on a sunny, but when it's overcast they are hard to spot. The biggest reason for me is that you get a little more "D" out of the GL plastic and I can't really say if their is a stability diff. between the plastic, because it's been awhile since I've throw Opto plastic.
